👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Mix the oil, paprika, cumin, lemon juice, rosemary, thyme, salt and black pepper and rub the mixture into the chicken inside and out.
    💡Dry the chicken before seasoning so the mixture clings to the skin; a longer marinade gives deeper color and flavor.
  2. 2
    Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).
    ⚙ Preheating the OvenOven
    💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
  3. 3
    Scatter the onion over the bottom of the pan.

  6. 6
    Bake uncovered 60–70 minutes, until the skin is browned and blistered in spots and the juices run clear. While baking, baste the chicken with the pan juices every 20 minutes.
